This is indeed true since I believe that we are all related in my family, mainly by blood and marriage. The purpose of this paper is to provide an account of my family based on its religion and values. For instance, it focuses on the religion that I was socialized as a child and its impact on me as a child and as an adult, particularly what I was taught concerning values like intercourse out-side of marriage, alcohol and drugs, and many more. Additionally, it delves into the role relationship between your parents in terms of dominance, division of labor, communication, affection, and so on, as well as how close were my parents were emotionally when it comes to discussion my feelings, for instance. Finally, it provides the name of my pet and I how I felt about it, how my and I parents resolve conflicts related to our partners in our own relationship, including my economics and social class, and parental plusses and minuses associated with my parents.
